08:13 JBoyer I've pushed a change to the eg_live_tests branch that should stop it complaining about the Angular tests.
08:13 JBoyer (at least the part where it complains about Chrome)

12:10 * JBoyer was about to be Extremely Grumpy, but then realized those results are from 4am.
12:11 * JBoyer is not *that* dedicated to testing.
12:39 jeff the number of times in the last few weeks when i've used "squeeze" when i meant to use "stretch"... :P
12:42 jeff could be worse. debian could have selected code names like Joomla! used for 1.0: Sunrise, Sunburst, Sunset, Sunlight, Sundial, Sunspot, Sunscreen, Sunburst... followed by 8 more.
12:49 JBoyer Sometimes I just want numbers. ;_;
12:50 JBoyer At least with Ubuntu you can tell via simple sort what order things are in, provided last year's letter wasn't super popular and leading to a misinformation loop.
13:14 csharp jeff: wow - I didn't know that about joomla :-/
13:16 csharp eventually debian's going to run out of Toy Story characters so maybe not too late to move to LOTR or similar

13:44 csharp just got a question about deleting old workstations and it put a thought in my head that someone needs to tell me is a bad idea
13:44 csharp what if we just stamp circs/payments/etc. with the workstation *name* without needing it to actually refer back to the actor.workstation table?
13:45 jeff not a fan of that idea.
13:45 csharp that way that info is preserved without needing to keep a 10-years-ago decommissioned PC's workstation in place forever
13:46 jeff not sure what your objective is, but can it be met with a deleted column on actor.workstation?
13:46 csharp yeah, that would be fine too
13:48 csharp maybe a (yet another) UI to manage a library's active workstations - seems like it would be prudent for several reasons
13:49 jeff it could also be useful to have a last used timestamp, etc.
13:51 csharp just had the same thought
13:51 jeff I'd like to brainstorm workstations in general at some point.
13:56 JBoyer I can see some useful additions to actor.workstation, but given that there's not really any UI where you have to choose one from a list that's built from the DB, is there any actual gain from removing them?
13:57 JBoyer (unless you're running a lot of reports that you filter by aw, I suppose)
14:00 csharp my initial response to the person asking me about it was that it's not advisable to delete any workstation with circ history and that they're pretty harmless just sitting there in the DB
14:00 csharp then I started thinking from the perspective of a local admin and thought I might want to have some control over that
14:01 csharp and librarians don't like "messy" and workstations hanging around forever feels messy to me
14:01 csharp I think I'll just open a wishlist bug that can be safely ignored if no one has the itch :-)
14:03 csharp https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1852120
14:03 pinesol Launchpad bug 1852120 in Evergreen "Wishlist: Easier Workstation Management at the Local Administration Level" [Wishlist,New]
14:03 csharp feel free to add thoughts on it
